The blessing and curse

Being an empath can be amazing but it can also being so tiring. When storms arise you feel like you have to endure the powerful waves until the waters calm again. Half of you wants to take over the ship and steer it for them and the other half of you is willing to go down with the ship if you can’t. Feeling all the emotions at once can feel like a tornado in your soul. You feel what they feel. You let it soak deep within yourself. Helping others can give you the sense of feeling full yet, you are completely exhausted. Your soul is constantly in a whirlwind of emotions while you are trying to heal at the same time. Yet, you can’t seem to turn it off. It feels as though it is attached to you, it is you. Being an empath can surely feel like a blessing and a curse. How do you fit yourself in? How do you heal yourself at the same time? Always remember when it is time to take your cape off and disconnect. Be an empath into your own soul, listen to when it tells you it is time to rest. Do not be your own storm, let the calm waters rush in.
